A thread!
—
They met when they were children, their match already decided from the day they were born.
These were turbulent time and alliances through marriage were
commonplace.
They basically grew up together, playing freely in the caste courtyards, often pulling practical pranks on patrolling guards and chaperones. Clearly the children loved each other dearly.
Their respective parents, advisors and anyone who saw them could only be
pleased by these interactions.
For they were sure that once Prince Wei Wuxian of Yiling married Lady Luo Qingyang of Lanling, an heir would be sure to follow.
—
Luo Qingyang arrived in Yiling a month before the wedding, accompanied only by her personal guard. There was no fanfare and no feast. Neither her or Wei Wuxian wished to pull funds for such a frivolous reason while the common folks were struggling during the war.
She saw Wei Wuxian waiting for her at bottom of the palace steps, excitedly waving at her. Standing stoically next to him was his personal royal guard. She gave him a fond smile, shaking her head as he jogged through the courtyard to meet her. He took her hand and placed a kiss
on her knuckles, as the tradition demands.
“My Lady Mianmian. I hope the journey went well?”
“Prince Yuandao. A pleasure to see you again. The road was fine, I was well guarded.”
The both of them looked at her guard.
When Wei Wuxian turned his gaze back to her, she smiled and nodded. His eyes sparkled with understanding. Offering her his arm, he whispered :
“I’m happy for you. Truly.”
“Thank you, dear friend. And you?”
She watched as pink dusted his cheeks as he glanced towards his own
guard. He let out a nervous laugh.
“His name is Lan Wangji. He’s… very good to me. It’s just hard… you know? Well I’m sure you know. I love you Mianmian, don’t get me wrong. But I wish this marriage didn’t have to happen.”
“Don’t worry dear Yuandao. All of us deserve to be
happy. We will find a way!”
—
The wedding took place a month later, as scheduled.
—
Nine months later, the Princess consort gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, they name her Mianmian. She is the spitting image of her mother.
With the promise of an official heir fulfilled, the advisors could finally rest easy knowing the line of succession was assured.
Prince Wei Wuxian dotes on the little princess the way an uncle would.
For he is not the father.
—
Now if Luo Qingyang and Wei Wuxian spent the first few nights of marital bliss jumping on the bed, having pillow fights, that’s for them to know. If other nights they simply laid in bed, reading aloud dialogues from various erotica novels to trick the ears of those pesky
advisors, they’ll take this secret to their graves.
—
Prince Wei Wuxian and Lady Luo Qingyang love each other dearly, that much is clear.
They just love their respective guards even more.
//That’s it! A bit rushed today because ✨life✨ but I enjoy WWX and LQY complicity.
